Excerpt from Pritchard Kin regarding tombstones:
"On 23 August 2004, Jo and I tried to visit Thomas and Mourning Turlington's graves. We were accompanied by Mr. Newman Smith and later joined by Tad Jackson. Both guides grew up nearby and had visited the cemetery many times in their youth. Mr. Smith said he was eighty-three. Tad said he was seventy-three. Tad Jackson said he last visited the cemetery about thirty to forty years ago. Our mother described the cemetery location in her book (Tombstone Inscriptions, p. 51).

Alas, the cemetery has been obliterated. The location is now an irrigated cornfield. It is not far from a tributary to Limestone Creek. (Strick Newsom-February 2005)."

"As early as 1776, William had purchased land on the Sappony Swamp in Nash Co., NC. On 7 Dec 1778 William III entered 1000 acres of land bordering his brother, John Whiddon [sic], and his father, William Whiddon, Sr. On 14 Oct 1779, his father sold him 100 acres of land on the northwest side of Sappony Swamp for 100 lbs, and on the 10th of November of that year, he received 690 acres from the state of North Carolina, located on the north side of Sappony Creek. This grant was a result of his participation in the Revolutionary War.

We know that after his death, his wife, Mary, was granted land in Tattnall Co., GA as a result of his service during the Revolutionary War. It may be that he is the William "Whiten" of Wilmington District, NC who received a pay voucher for his services. His brother Lott, who also served during the revolution, was living in the Halifax District of NC. Later both were in Edgecombe and Nash Co., NC.

In 1780 William purchased 360 acres in the fork of Sappony Creek, from William Worrell, for 1600 lbs. The fact that he had 1600 lbs. to spend, and that the "Jr." was not affixed to his name, would seem to indicate that his father had passed away. By the time taxes are noted in 1782, William had 1770 acres of land, 2 negroes ages 50 to 60, 2 negroes ages 16 to 40, 3 horses and mules, 20 cattle, and his property is valued at 450 lbs. Considering what he paid for the land originally, it must have devalued considerably; or in the transcriptions of amounts paid for land, someone must have missed a figure. From that point on there are numerous land transactions involving William and his wife, Mary.

William and his brother, Lott, helped keep the road in repair from the Court House to the Tarr River, at or near Edward Clinche's Mill, in 1778; and William served as an assessor in 1779, for which he received 35 lbs. for his years work. Many times he acted as a juror, and also as a patroller of the district under Capt. Hatton. He was appointed Constable in place of Brinkley Gandy during the April Court of 1782, and in January of 1783 was appointed Constable in place of Simon Smith.

In July of 1782 he served as Assessor in Capt. Davenport's District, for which the court agreed to pay each of those serving in that capacity 35 lbs. The pay had diminished considerably, as during the January term of Court, 1782, William was allowed 4000 lbs. for his service as an assessor.

About 1788, William and his brother Noah, sold their land in Nash County, and relocated in Darlington District, South Carolina. William's nephews, Maxwell and James, sons of his brother Lott, also took part in the migration. Land was purchased primarily along the Sparrow Swamp, near the Lynch River, and they became neighbors to the Barwicks.

They remained in Darlington until about 1815, at which time the family moved to Georgia, settling in the Tift County portion of old Irwin County where he farmed until his death in the winter of 1818. Eventually this part of the county was included in Emanuel County. His estate was appraised on 13 Feb 1819 by his son, Eli Whiddon."*
